Tiny Device Allows You To Track Your Car Using Your Smartphone Have you ever lost your car on a parking lot? It happens. You park and go shopping. When you get back, you don't have a clue where your car is. Then you start roaming around clicking on the panic button on your car keys so the alarm goes off. It can be frustrating, especially on a hot, sunny day. No, you don't need to install an expensive GPS system to keep track of your car. That's way too expensive. You would need to pay a monthly subscription fee just to use it. Don't we have enough bills to pay already? The device "TrackR" has the size of a coin and can be placed everywhere But is there a way to track your vehicle without spending a fortune? Yes, now there is! A California-based startup company was able to make this a reality. They created a tiny device that works with your smartphone, and it could be exactly what you're looking for! What is it? It's called Trac

A new view of twisted proteins could help scientists understand Alzheimer's. A critical molecule in the neurodegenerative disease has finally been mapped. Scientists still aren't sure what causes Alzheimer's—or how to treat it. A new study published this month in  Nature  marks a key milestone in  Alzheimer's research. It demonstrates  the first complete model  of a tau filament, a protein structure found in the brain cells of Alzheimer's patients and thought to be the cause of the neurodegenerative disease. Many scientists believe that tau proteins are the molecular building blocks of Alzheimer’s disease. Within the cell, these proteins clump together and group into tangles. These tangles are thought to inhibit cell communication, form lesions, and eventually cause the  memory loss  associated with Alzheimer’s. Different arrangements of tau proteins, or “morphologies,” can accompany different neurodegenerative diseases such  Parkinson’s . The ne
